| Program Overview |
| |
|
Educational psychology is directed toward increasing competence
in educational inquiry. The Department of Educational Psychology
at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa (UHM) offers graduate
programs leading to the MEd and the PhD. The department has
the following objectives:
- to develop competent scholars in educational psychology;
- to prepare individuals to perform career activities (basic
and applied research as well as teaching and mentoring)
in school systems, colleges and universities; and
- to prepare individuals to work as consultants or administrators
in the areas of human learning, development, and cognition; and measurement, research methods, and statistics.
Students who study educational psychology at UHM may gain research
internship experience in the university’s Curriculum
Research and Development Group and the Center for Disability Studies. Professional growth is further
encouraged through departmental relations with institutions
such as the Hawai'i Department of Education, East-West Center,
Kamehameha Schools, Pacific Resources for Education and Learning,
and Hawai'i Educational Research Association. In addition,
Hawai'i's unique multi-ethnic population offers opportunities
for multi-cultural research.
Graduates of the programs work
in more than a dozen countries, serving as professors, teachers, evaluators,
personnel specialists, and learning specialists.
